Split vote by ESN

The part voted on: ‘Strongly condemns the instrumentalisation of migration by third countries or hostile non-state actors with the aim of destabilising a Member State or the EU; takes the position that this phenomenon constitutes an unacceptable attempt to exert political pressure on front-line Member States and on the EU; urges the Commission to propose further legislation enabling Member States, in cases of instrumentalisation, to refuse access to asylum procedures at the external border, in accordance with EU and international law; notes the specific provisions on the instrumentalisation of migration recently included in key pieces of EU legislation; further welcomes the recent revision of the EU legal framework to include hybrid threats among the grounds triggering the EU visa suspension mechanism; underlines that a credible and effective EU response must also be based on close coordination and sincere cooperation between neighbouring Member States, and between them and EU institutions, in a spirit of loyalty and mutual solidarity, and on enhanced technological and operational capabilities in border management, while preserving the integrity of the Schengen area and ensuring full respect for the fundamental values of the EU;’
